Do you expect "non-stoichiometric hydrides" to be formed by alkali metals?
Options
- ANo, because alkali metals readily form stoichiometric hydrides with a fixed hydrogen-metal ratio.
- BYes, because alkali metals can form non-stoichiometric hydrides with varying hydrogen content.
- CNo, because alkali metals do not form hydrides with hydrogen.
- DYes, because alkali metals exclusively form non-stoichiometric hydrides.
Correct answer
A. No, because alkali metals readily form stoichiometric hydrides with a fixed hydrogen-metal ratio.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) No, because alkali metals readily form stoichiometric hydrides with a fixed hydrogen-metal ratio.
